Help UNICEF double the support reaching children in Gaza

The scale of humanitarian need in Gaza remains enormous. More than two years of conflict have left up to 1.9 million people displaced, and more than 56,000 children have lost one or both parents. Widespread destruction, malnutrition and trauma continue to shape every aspect of childhood. Today, your donation will be doubled help UNICEF reach more children and families with urgent support.

As of January 2026, daily life in Gaza remains extremely challenging: 

• 96% of families have been living in tents, collective centres and damaged houses and buildings
• 50% of families have been unable to reach health services when needed 
• 71% of families have been relying on emergency water trucking
• Around two-thirds of children have had less than three months of learning since October 2023

The rights of every single child, no matter who or where they are, must be protected. Since the ceasefire, UNICEF has been accelerating its response to provide lifesaving essentials—including vaccines, safe water, hygiene kits and nutrition supplies—to children and families who need them most. Safe and unimpeded access for humanitarian workers must be guaranteed so aid can reach children across Gaza.

We can’t do this alone. With your support, we can continue scaling up our response in Gaza—and right now, your donation will be MATCHED by an anonymous donor to help reach more children and families. Will you help us?

The ceasefire offers a critical opportunity to deliver lifesaving aid to more children. And right now, your donation can go twice as far, helping expand support for children and families, including:

• Delivering nutrition supplies to help improve the health of children
• Maintaining essential healthcare services
• Providing access to safe water
• Reuniting children with their parents
• Providing psychosocial support to help children heal from unimaginable trauma
• Reopening schools and safe spaces so that children can continue learning

Every one-time donation made to this appeal will be matched by a generous donor, up to $500,000. After the $500,000 match has been reached, your donations will continue to support UNICEF’s life-saving work for children in Gaza.

All donations are eligible for a tax receipt as a charitable gift. If you prefer to donate by phone, please call 1 877 955 3111. We are available to answer your call 24/7.
